Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A recombinant, non-glycosylated cytokine which is chemically identical to or similar to the endogenous cytokine human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) isoform B, with immunomodulating activity. Filgrastim binds to and activates G-CSF receptors with the same biological activity and stability as the endogenous cytokine, thereby controlling the production, differentiation, and function of neutrophilic granulocyte progenitors.

Filgrastim has been investigated in 46 clinical trials, of which 35 are open and 11 are closed. Of the trials investigating filgrastim, 2 are early phase 1 (1 open), 10 are phase 1 (6 open), 12 are phase 1/phase 2 (8 open), 18 are phase 2 (16 open), 3 are phase 3 (3 open), and 1 is phase 4 (1 open).

del(5)(q10), KMT2A Fusion, and Monosomy 7 are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for filgrastim clinical trials.

Acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes are the most common diseases being investigated in filgrastim clinical trials [2].
